The Sugars in Alcohol Cocktails Matter.
Article in ACS chemical neuroscience, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
While sugar consumption and alcohol drinking have traditionally been studied by different basic science fields, most commercially available flavored alcoholic beverages are sweetened with some kind of sugar. The prevailing view is that these sugars potentiate drinking by making the alcohol taste better, particularly for adolescents, overlooking that some central nervous system circuits implicated in alcohol drinking are also sensitive to brain penetrant sugars like glucose. In this Viewpoint, we highlight the need for basic researchers to carefully consider how the sugars mixed with alcoholic beverages may impact the neurochemical and biological mechanisms influencing alcohol drinking and the development of alcohol use disorder.
